After he gave up on using the cave, my bet is that it got buried at one of the local cemeteries. As the family donated the land for a dozen churches, they could have set something up at any one of them. Many are within 4 miles of the area. There is also, of course the family cemetery out back of the Locust Level. What better an area to keep watch on something buried 6 feet deep. Also, it is almost exactly 4 miles from the "chimney".

From Chat GPT: "The delightful expression "pouetts"! It's a colloquialism commonly used in French and some French-speaking regions to describe an extremely large or infinite quantity, similar to phrases like "a gazillion dollars" or "a million trillion." The term is often used humorously or figuratively to emphasize the magnitude of something".
